update your blog! I like hearing about car farts and the like.

I would be remiss if I didn't thank "PJ" for her tireless efforts in lobbying for animal welfare. She should be applauded for everything she does on a daily basis to help animals. As far as I'm concerned she's an "angel in disguise!" Thanks PJ for making such a difference...I love you! -:)

Thanks so much for making the public more aware of the benefits of eating mercifully! I had NO idea such horrific practices were going on in our society until I viewed a video online; my heart was broken as I saw what these precious animals endure before and even during the slaughter process. It's incomprehensible to me that we allow such cruel and inhumane practices on today's factory farms.

I first was given the opportunity to watch this video last fall. I was moved and convicted by what I heard and saw, and am very glad that the HUSU has produced ‘Eating Mercifully’ and is making it available to religious leaders, interested individuals, and organizations as a DVD.

Even though I am a Christian and have always believed that God made the animals and gave us the

I couldn't be more excited about The HSUS' 'All Creatures Great and Small' campaign for God's animals! I LOVE 'Eating Mercifully'. In fact when I heard that the new campaign was having the kickoff at The Washington National Cathedral in DC last September I just had to fly up and see for myself! It was like a dream come true watching as believers came together in love and concern for God's

"Should I have blueberries or doughnuts?" This shouldn't be up for debate. You obviously choose the blueberry...cake glazed doughnuts! Ok, Ok, not the point. However, I have been interested in the blog and this post hits close to home as Amber and I and all of our "young parent" friends have had the discussion about organic food and cost. You can consider me a novice in this area but it is great

matt,
this was my point exactly, although i realize my response was unclear.

instead of addressing the issue of human overconsumption that is creating the problem of too much methane, we have naturally turned to science to address the problem by interrupting the natural digestive cycles of the cattle. right now, the speak of garlic as an experiment, but i dare say, that it won't

Yeah, good thoughts here Aaron...
(Roxy - I think we still have some room for 'compromise' on natural cycles...)

I think the great irony is that nobody has proposed less cows! (heaven forbid I give up my quarter pounders.) Certainly there is a good money in 1.5 billion cattle around the world, but at what point must we face the music? $26 million is quite a lot of money which, to

2009-02-26T10:33:00.000-08:00

ummm, so FYI - it is also rude to fart at the dinner table...anytime. I don't care if it is a natural cycle of digestion. Natural cycles can still be kept private.

I have to say that I am in agreement with what Aaron says. It seems clear to me that as consumption of meat products increases, so the decline of the health not only of our bodies but also of the world in which we live.

I've heard of this argument before-- that the methane produced by cows is cause for concern. But I'm still not buying that it should be a central enough concern to pour money into addressing it. It seems to me, that it is simply a means of skirting the real issues that surround human overconnsumption. After all, the world was created to sustain a certain degree of 'pollution,' or methane, or

Humpdidly - thanks for posting this. I am working on designing a course here in Belfast to train people as Global Educators (to teach Global Citizenship in the local schools). This info/report along with your thoughts i think will have found a spot in the material :)

I am so glad that this is up and running. it is nice to share in your thoughts a life (albeit via a bitty screen..)

Hey White Whale, check out your other blog (which is my blog as well). An interesting dialogue has ensued.

Matt,

Thank you for posting this! It is a great poem and has Loren's stamp deep in it. I can't read it and not imagine Galiano (not too far from Whitbey, I suppose).

Hope that you are well.

well said matt, i have two thoughts.

1.) i think you might have overlooked one of the key points of left behind 18, where Styrofoam is actually a protagonist whose indestructible nature serves a vital role in bringing about the end of the world by poisoning the water and food of all non-christians.

2.) i think you'll enjoy gunton's book. and i think it will be quite insightful

hey bud, I hear yuh man. It's a process to let those toughened seeds of life break open. Blessing though. And by the way, was that one of Hopkins' "Terrible Sonnets" I really like his "Thou Art Indeed Just Lord."
